I am making more use of links, music and visual. Click on them and then you might have a second link to search. Some locations, such as YouTube generate revenue for your "free" viewing by running ads, so be patient. On occasion there is a "skip ad" button. Sometimes it will load and start when you go there, sometimes you need to click on the white arrow in the red box.
I hope you enjoy the updates to my art and life as presented in this blog. IF you don't like the political stuff and don't want to receive future blogs just say so, no hard feelings. So far, only five have taken me up on the offer. With that in mind, remember: BELOW THE FOLD is where (most) of the controversial stuff is placed. Sometimes stuff is a hybrid, say humor and political. Nevertheless, I do this blog for me, it clears my mind and then I do it to share stuff I think is interesting, fun, needed to be considered, etc. I like, also, the feedback I receive, either on a specific article or the concept in general. Right now there are about 70 of you who receive this directly. Claude

Reader’s Digest edition
I am teaching my kids to read to help them succeed in school. I’m teaching my kids to read because it’s quality time spent together. But most of all I’m teaching my kids to read so they won’t ask “what does XJ49PB2 spell? every time we pass another car on the road.

A teenager brings her new boyfriend home to meet her parents. They are appalled by his piercings, the vulgar slogan on his T-shirt, and his constant cursing.
Later, the girl asked her mother, “So, what did you think?”
“He doesn’t seem very nice.”
“Oh, please, mom! says the daughter.
If he wasn’t nice, would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”

My dating not going well…I FaceTimed my date and I heard someone whisper “Eww, that’s him?”
Then there was the time I was ZOMBIED😬 It’s like ghosting but then the woman comes back from the dead a couple of months later and hits me up.

=======================
Interesting for two reason…Lucianne and her son
Letters…
I find this next piece really interesting. Think about all of the youth in this country - your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighbors, someone somewhere in obscurity. She, as a teenager, wrote some songs on her acoustic guitar, figured out how to have them recorded. Then marketed. Then performed on stage. Stumbled into a few romantic relationships. Built a team. Figured out how to grow the franchise… She traveled with her mother at age eleven to visit Nashville record labels and submitted demo tapes of Dolly Parton and The Chicks karaoke covers. She was rejected, however, because "everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I need to figure out a way to be different."
When Swift was around 12 years old, computer repairman and local musician Ronnie Cremer taught her to play guitar. He helped with her first efforts as a songwriter, leading her to write "Lucky You". Now, over 200 million albums sold…just that at, at say $2 per to her…plus her merchandise, performance tickets and fees, endorsements, publishing earnings, and on and on and on. Why her? Why not another child/teenager? In a way, it happens all the time in the United States of America. All races, genders, family circumstances, locals.

Volcano Facts: The Evils Of Carbon Dioxide
By:Professor Ian Rutherford Plimer :
An Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne,professor of mining geology at the University of Adelaide, and the director of multiple mineral exploration and mining companies. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books, and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology.
These are his extensive credentials:
Born: 12 February 1946
Residence: Australia
Nationality: Australian
Fields of Study: Earth Science, Geology,
Mining Engineering Institutions:
University of New England,
University of Newcastle,
University of Melbourne,
University of Adelaide
Alma Maters: University of New South Wales, Macquarie University
A few excerpts from Professor Plimer's newest book.
Where Does Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?
PLIMER : "Okay, here's the bombshell -- the 2016 volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash, in just four days it NEGATED every single effort you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress. It's that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life.
I know.... it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnightto finish your kids "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50-cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs.....well, all of those things you have done went down the tubes in just four days!
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere by that volcano in Iceland totally erased every single effort made worldwide to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it.
Of course, I shouldn't spoil this 'touchy-feely -save-the-Earth' moment and mention the effect of natural solar and cosmic activity, and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact is that the wildfire season across the western USA and Australia in 2019 alone negated efforts to reduce carbon in our world over the following two to three years. And these types of events happen every year somewhere on the planet.
So just remember if your government imposes a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the BOGUS 'human-caused' climate-change scenario, it won't stop any volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure. Is it really so hard to understand that Mother Nature massively dominates any human efforts on climate?
Hey, isn't it interesting how they don't mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but have labeled it 'Climate Change'? It's because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century as measured in 2010, and global warming advocates got caught with their pants down.
21st century climate alarmism is a mental disorder, whipped along for its own purposes by the UN Climate Change Panel of scientific "experts".
